What a load of predictable, uninspiring dross this is. Gandolfini tries his best with this dull script, but Redford has phoned his performance in.

Drowning in a sea of clichés and implausibilities, "The Last Castle" is a colossal comical mess of Hollywood production work that is trite and predictable in every step of the way.

Anchored by two powerhouse lead performances and an undeniably intriguing premise, Rod Lurie's "The Last Castle" ultimately shoots past its narrative implausibility and thematic repetitiveness to deliver an overwhelmingly entertaining film.Anchored by two powerhouse lead performances and an undeniably intriguing premise, Rod Lurie's "The Last Castle" ultimately shoots past its narrative implausibility and thematic repetitiveness to deliver an overwhelmingly entertaining film. Because, let's be honest, we all watched this movie for one reason and one reason only - to see Tony Soprano and the Sundance Kid play one mean game of toy soldiers in the prison yard. And that's what I got. Color me pleased.… Expand

Prison drama with no waste supported by strong cast. Maybe not strong as The Shawshank redemption but has enough to kill 2 hours 11 minutes without pain. Good choice for a weekend.

Decent movie. Kind of old school where prison guards mistreat thier prisoners. The prisoners devise a plan to take it over.

Easily one of the most underated movies of all time. An action packed, dramatic story, and great performances. It should and probably will be a classic.

Un général 3 étoiles fait le mariole dans une prison militaire ou disons un ex-général 3 étoiles puisqu’il a écopé d’une peine de 10 piges pour on ne sait trop quelle raison mais apparemment des gens sont morts par sa faute…

Et v’là-t’y pas que ce vieux con de Redford qui n’arrête pas de parader nous rejoue le Pont de la rivière Kwaï à lui tout seul, sans gêne, sans honte, sans aucun respect. Mais le résultat tourne plutôt vers ‘Haute sécurité’ avec Stallone que le Pont avec Guinness… et le tout est noyé dans une infâme propagande patriotico-pro-militaire.

Dommage, car le film est assez bien réalisé et Gandolfini est le seul à tirer son épingle du jeu dans cette pantalonnade navrante même pas drôle au quinzième degré, ni faite, ni à faire.… Expand
